Might want to proofread it. There are a few paragraphs that are repeating and out of place:

> Why? So, let’s explore that together. Who here is running or has run an application in production with SQLite? Who has experimented with SQLite for an app, but not shipped it to production? There are a couple hands up, but not many. So, let’s turn this question around.

This pretty clearly seems to be a transcript of a conference talk, and redundancy and repetition are quite useful for getting a point across in spoken language.

Maybe it could be more accessible when rewritten as a blog post, but if it’s a useful talk I’d much rather have an official transcript than only a video link and maybe Youtube’s auto-transcript.

So much good content is buried in video form for me (I really don’t like watching technical videos and prefer reading that content).

  • This paragraph appears twice in the article at different places.

    I don't think the speaker said it twice word by word in the talk.

I think this is paraphrased or exact copy from a conference talk. Not that I love the rhetorical question mode of communication, but it’s more understandable.

  • I was not saying this particular paragraph itself is repeating.

    It literally appears twice in the article at different places.

Yep, that was an errant duplication. I did proofread, but how is it that one thing always seems to sneak through anyway? Thanks for the catch. Fixing now.
